GARDEN PLOW. Y

` Application inea october 29, 1921, serial No. 511,323, and arrancaAugust 31, y1921.

' vThis invention relates to the type of implement applicable forplowing between the rows of vine-stocks and called an inter-vinestockplow, this type oplow consisting of three principal members, namely, abent supporting frame, a` guard for diverting the plow fromthe vinestocks, and a share. In plan these threemembers form a kind ofcurvilinear triangle. r].`hi s invention has for its object variousimprovements applicable to the construction ofthe members forming thistype of plow and enabling it to plow effectively on Vflator'slopingland; the invention also has for its object an improved.

assembly of the said members.

'The'` accompanying drawings illustrate these improvements by wayof'example;

F gs.v l 'and 2 show respectively in longitudinal elevation and, in planan inter-Vine- -ltocl; plow provided with a share without a eel. Y l

., Fig. 9a is a section on the line 1aof thera'ine of the plow shown'inFigs. Sand 9. Fig. 10` shows in longitudinal elevation anvinter-vine-stock plow of the type shown in Figs. l and 2 provided witha device permiti ting of inclining the handles so as to enable this plowto be -used on sloping land. 'i

Figs. .11 and 12 are respectively two ,vertical elevations of the devicefor attaching the handles to the frame, permitting of in# .clining thesaid handles.

' Fig. 13 shows a modified form of `construirtion of theinter-vine-stock plow wherein the 6o .wheel is hinged to ythesupportingrod mounted upon the frame.

In'these figures, t indicates the frame, b the'guard, and 'c the share.The guard b is'adj ustable, butduring operation the 'three 65 membersreferred to form aA rigid unitary Y body. A pair of ordinary handles elis'iitted to the rear, and a wheel e mounted at the end oi' a vsupportfis disposed at'thefrontv ofthisplow. f' i,

in the construction shown in Figs. land 2, the end of the guard; b isround and is mounted in a collar gby which it is securedA underneath theframe a. A tightening Screw hf'permits of locking the whole as requiredand of varying the height of the guard'which can be tilted around thecollar g. In' Fig. 4, the vguard Z) isy bent,.its end 1) Vof square orflat section, bearing vertically against the frame t shown -in section.A collar v 7c connects these members together. In this'arrangemenn-theguard b is adjustable, -not by tilting or oscillation as pre-I 4viously'described but by a vertical displacev ment which permits oflraisingor lowering the whole oljlv the guard parallelto the ground. YIn Fig.v 5, the guard I) is secured bythe collar e, not to the frame a,but to the wheel support j. The collar k may be raised or lowered alongthe support f andduring its Vertical movement moves the guard parallel'to the ground. y l i A Moreover the end of the guard Z) is round andcanturn in the collar 7c which permits the guard b to 'oscillate' aroundits point'of ofv attachment when operating l pressure screws 702. 1 f

In thc modified form of' construction show-n in Figs. 3 and 3a, theinter-vine-stock plow is provided with an oscillating trail for itsobject the limitation of the depth of the trench and the lateralinter-vine-stock penetration without affecting the sinusoidal movementof the plow. This heel consists Vil of a shaft i pivoted in a socket jrigidly se cured to the rearof the share c of the frame a. This socketpermits the shaft e' to oscil *late in a horizontal plane until it meetsthe abutments m which limit las required the course 'of the shaft bymeans of screws 'n mounted near the ends of these abutments; near thefree end of the shaft z' is secured,

` by means of a tightening collar o, a suitably shaped member, in thiscase` of the shape of a harrow prong (Fig. 6). The vertical porangularmember Z (Fig. 6a); thismember aifords the advantage of enabling one ofits sides to be brought into contact with the vine-stocks and to plowthe ground which k are secured to the secondary frame a.

Amay have been left by the share c.

In the modified form of construction illusi tratedV in Fig. 7, andadapted for plowing sloping plantations thek share c may be inclinedparallel to the sloping ground whilst the' handles Z and the wheel e arekept vertical, in such a manner that "the members Z and Ve remainvertical relatively to the centre of gravity irrespective of theinclination of thek ground or of the share c. attain this 'result theframe is provided with a secondary frame a of cylindrical section whichis secured parallel to the main frame a by means of collars g whichpermit it to turn. Oneof the collars isk provided .with a pressure screwr adapted to lock `the frame a when yrequired and to prevent it fromturning. It is possible to employ any other suitable device enabling acylindrical shaft Vto be locked; .a split collar with a tighteningscrew, sector, etc.

The guard Z) as also the share o are secured" Y therefore, the screws rare loosened the sec- In order to agency. The two frames a, a arearranged concentrically, the main' frame a which always supports theguard b and the share c being cylindrical in this case. The secondaryframe a, supporting the wheel e, its support f and the handles al,consists of a tube in the interior of which is placed the main frame a.These frames may, as desired, turn one with- -in the other or be lockedtogether so as to form a rigid entirety by means of the tighteningcollar s. the collar s; a screw 1' serves to draw together'the twoportions of the' split tube.

In the' modified form of construction of the inter-vine-stock lowillustrated in Figs. 10, ll and 12 suita le for use j on sloping grounda device is provided enabling the handles Z to be inclined transversely;this device consists of a member t rigidly secured to the rear of theframe a or to the share c. This member terminates in the form of. ahorizontal cylindrical shaft u of which the axis is parallel to the lineof traction; a co1- lar o secured to the handles d is placed around theshaft u. The handles drmay thus oscillate laterally around the shaft 'uand may be Vsecured in the required positionby means of a screw r whichsecurely connects the collar fu, and consequently the handles, yto theshaft u.

In the modified form of constructiony of this type of plow illustratedin Fig. 13, the
